Unlike our guide to today's Wordle answer, where we recommend the best Wordle start words as your strategy, solving Connections relies on identifying connecting categories among 16 words. Each category's difficulty level is represented by a color; yellow is the easiest grouping, and purple is the most challenging. Once you've made 4 mistakes in your guesses, the answers will be revealed, so hints can be helpful.
Today's Connections words are: Monster, Tarot, Library, Group, Draconian, Debut, Constellation, Zodiac, Collection, Seven, Ballet, Hydrant, Leonardo, Cluster, Psycho, and Rapport

Today's Connections answers
So, what are today's Connections answers for game #644?
Drumroll, please...
🟨 Bunch: Cluster, Collection, Constellation, Group
🟩 Ending with silent 't': Ballet, Debut, Rapport, Tarot
🟦 Serial Killer Movies: Monster, Psycho, Seven, Zodiac
🟪 Starting with constellations: Draconian, Hydrant, Leonardo, Library
Today's clues threw me for a loop at first but I noticed a lot of synonyms for a bundle of things so I kicked things off with Cluster, Collection, Constellation, and Group to scoop up the yellow category.
I stumbled upon the blue category after I realized the connection between Monster, Psycho and Zodiac and took a stab (haha get it?) with Seven, the only movie I didn't recognize of the bunch.
After that came the purple category, which I'm surprised I got considering I almost never get these kinds of categories. Draconian, Hydrant, Leonardo, and Library just seemed so random that I ended up staring at them long enough to realize it wasn't the words themselves, but rather what they began with that was the connection.
That left the green category as today's rote fill with Ballet, Debut, Rapport, and Tarot.
Yesterday's Connections answers
🟨 Sharp protrusion: Barb, bristle, needle, spine
🟩 Features of stringed instruments: Bridge, neck, peg, string
🟦 Litigation verbs: Charge, move, serve, sue
🟪 In "Star Light, Star Bright": May, might, tonight, wish
Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #643, which had a difficulty rating of 3.3 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion.
I never believe the Connections puzzles when the answer is a string of words making a sentence.
Still, I saw tonight and wish and immediately thought, "I wish I may, I wish I might." So, I added may and might and turned it in on a lark. A correct one that nabbed me the purple group.
Up next, I snagged the green category with bridge, neck, peg and string. My thought was guitar, but stringed instruments in general works.
Despite watching Suits LA in support of a friend who works on the show, I was not connecting the litigation verbs of charge, move, serve and sue. Instead, I got the yellow spiky group with barb, bristle, needle and spin.
And then we wrapped it up with the blue quartet.
